Summary

Looking for a brilliant best-selling crime mystery with great detectives?

Detectives Calladine and Bayliss face a vicious serial killer in a mystery with a shocking ending.

A woman’s body is found in a disused church, a homemade stuffed toy by her side. The victim had been dumped there months ago. The crime has the hallmarks of 20-year-old case whose alleged perpetrator is in prison.

Detective Ruth Bayliss must work out whether a serial killer has returned, or if a new killer is just taunting the police.

Her partner DI Tom Calladine faces the fight of his life to clear his name of corruption accusations. And then things go from bad to worse for Calladine....

With the team under massive pressure and drugs flooding the streets, another gruesomely presented body is found.

In an ending with a huge twist, the detectives must unpick decades’ old lies before anyone else dies.

If you like Angela Marsons, Rachel Abbott, Mel Sherratt, Ruth Rendell or Mark Billingham, you will enjoy this exciting new crime fiction writer.

A good story.

A little predictable and at times wondered if an old story I had already heard.

Good Storyline

Interesting listen few twists and turns interesting tie in with previous storylines. Ending seemed to be cut short almost like the author got a bit bored.

What a great storyline!

I've really been enjoying these Norfolk mysteries. The storylines are always great, and the books are very well written. Along with brilliant narration it makes a great listen.

Compelling intriguing engaging murder mystery

Another good book in the series many twists and turns in this book with big surprises, I really do hope that Ruth does stay as I don't think the relationship would be as good with a new person, narration was brilliant as always
